Ingredients

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 4 cups baby spinach
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 small red onion
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground cumin, ground coriander, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the lamb mixture into four equal portions and shape each one into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly. Set aside.

Step 3

Finely mince the garlic cloves and slice the red onion into thin rings. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 5

Add the baby spinach to the skillet with a pinch of salt and stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 7

While the lamb patties rest, toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a dry skillet until lightly golden.

Step 8

To assemble, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lamb patty, a generous portion of garlic spinach, and a few slices of red onion. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, then place the top bun over the filling.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes or enjoy on its own!
